<\/a> 2021 was a boom year for global M&A:<\/strong> A record M&A rally saw agreements worth USD 5.8 tn signed throughout the year, growing 64% y-o-y and marking the fastest pace of growth for M&As since the mid-1990s, the Financial Times<\/a> reports, citing Refinitiv data.<\/p>\n

Underpinning the rally:<\/strong> Booming markets, widespread stimulus measures, and the growing popularity of SPACs. A total of 334 SPAC agreements were announced for companies valued at a combined USD 597 bn, equivalent to 10% of the total figure by value, according to the salmon-colored paper. SPACs began to slow down towards the end of 2021 after being \u201coverdone,\u201d and will likely account for a much smaller percentage moving forward, JPMorgan\u2019s global co-head of M&A told the FT.<\/p>\n

The two biggest M&As of the year:<\/strong> The USD 132 bn merger<\/a> of WarnerMedia and Discovery, which saw telecom operator AT&T spinning off WarnerMedia to create a USD 43 bn media giant with Discovery. Canadian Pacific Railway\u2019s USD 31 bn acquisition of rival Kansas City Southern, which closed last month<\/a>, led to the creation of the only single-line railway linking Canada, the United States and Mexico.<\/p>\n

There were already signs of the boom earlier on in the year:<\/strong> In January<\/a>, advisers signaled their expectations that the 2020 tech M&A boom would hold up in 2021, predicting enterprise technology companies with market values in the range of USD 20-100 bn to look at acquisitions. The forecast was fueled by surging M&A volumes in 2020, which hit a record USD 470 bn as surging tech stocks and central bank liquidity provoked a wave of market concentration. And by the end of 3Q2021, it was clear that the boom was materializing. Nearly USD 4 tn-worth of M&A agreements were reached by September<\/a>, helped in part by a surge in agreements in August, which is typically a quiet month for M&A.<\/p>\n

Egypt was no exception:<\/strong> M&A also had a strong year here at home, we noted in our year in review story<\/a>. SPACs are widely expected to be a driver of further activity this year, after being recently introduced<\/a> as a financial vehicle to the local market. At the moment, SWVL is attempting to speed up a SPAC agreement that could be completed in the coming weeks<\/a> to beat Anghami in taking the title of the first firm to SPAC in MENA.<\/p>\n

Could we see more of the same this year?<\/strong> Altogether, the expectation is that there will continue to be a flurry of M&A activity in 2022, despite anticipated interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve and rising company valuations potentially slowing down the pace. A Grant Thornton survey showed that more than two thirds of dealmakers and advisers expect M&A volumes to rise this year \u201cdespite challenges posed by regulations and the pandemic,\u201d according to Reuters<\/a>. Businesses are likely to bite the bullet on higher valuations \u201cbecause they need to remain on the offense with the competition, they have access to record amounts of [liquidity], and they feel pressure from investors to raise their own valuations,\u201d a separate KPMG survey of US business leaders signaled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
